Hello:
I've got an Overland ARCvault12 w/single LTO-2 drive. SCSI
controller is an LSI using mpt driver (wh/seems to be a pos and not
something i'd user again). btape "test" and "fill" complete but when I
run successive backups the tape never changes - same result w/both
mtx-changer and rc-chio-changer. Both scripts work correctly
from command line.
Results from the ARCVault web mangement interface, mt, and tapeinfo:
# camcontrol devlist -v
scbus0 on mpt0 bus 0:
<HP Ultrium 2-SCSI S33H> at scbus0 target 1 lun 0 (sa0,pass0)

An example from rc-chio-changer:

I'm not sure precisely what 0x42 density mode is since mt man page omits
it...
# mt geteotmodel
/dev/nsa0: the model is 2 filemarks at EOT
So this means I need "TWO EOF = Yes", correct?

So above would indicate the hardware compression is turned on, wh/is
also consistent with the ARCVault web interface reports:
Detailed Drive 1 Status
Cleaning Status OK
Hardware Compression On
Drive Temperature 44�C
SCSI ID 1
SCSI LUN 0
Write-Protected No
Media Source Slot 9
Remaining Capacity 200 GB
Read Compression Ratio Unknown until after read/write
Write Compression Ratio Unknown until after read/write
However, btape fill only writes 200GB before switching tapes and from
above "Remaining Capacity" of blank tape is 200GB (w/hw compression
turned on I would expect 400GB). But maybe this just reports native
capacity. But if hw compression is enabled, as reported by web mgmnt,
mt, and tapeinfo, then why does btape fill only write 200BG?
I do get this during btape fill:
8-Jul 01:40 btape: End of Volume "TestVolume1" at 295:14049 on device
"Drive-1" (/dev/nsa0). Write of 64512 bytes got 0. 08-Jul 01:40 btape:
btape Error: Re-read last block at EOT failed. ERR=block.c:1006 Read
zero bytes at 295:0 on device "Drive-1" (/dev/nsa0). btape:
btape.c:2343 Last block at: 295:14048 this_dev_block_num=14049
before proceeding to complete test:
The first block on the second tape matches.
Reposition from 0:2 to 0:11
Reading block 11.
The last block on the second tape matches. Test succeeded.
But I think this is because of "Backward Space Record = No" in my
sd.conf:
Autochanger {
Name = Autochanger
Device = Drive-1
Changer Command = "/usr/local/etc/bacula/rc-chio-changer %c %o %S %a %
d" Changer Device = /dev/ch0
}
Device {
Name = Drive-1 #
Drive Index = 0
Device Type = Tape
Media Type = LTO-2
Archive Device = /dev/nsa0
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
AutoChanger = yes
Alert Command = "sh -c 'smartctl -d scsi -H -l error %a'"
# fbsd stuff:
TWO EOF = Yes;
Hardware End of Medium = No;
Fast Forward Space File = No;
BSF at EOM = Yes;
Backward Space Record = No;
}
So I am baffled as to where to go from here?
Hmm.. I just checked smarctl:

I wonder wtf is up with that? I've run that same check before and not
gotten the error.. I'm going to run a camcontrol reset and play with
this some more. In the meantime any help appreciated.
oh yeah,one more thing; I can run an mt erase 0" w/o error but a full
erase "mt erase" yields bunches of this in the logs:
